Shadow Box Settings

The picture-frame look everyone's been asking about.

Shadow box settings are everywhere right now, and we've noticed you eyeing them. The trick is a wire frame around the outer edge that lifts the whole design and throws a little shadow underneath. Once you've done it once, you'll put it on everything.

What you'll learn

  • Building the wire edge that creates the shadow box effect
  • Variations, so your piece doesn't look like everyone else's
  • Sweat soldering, assembly, and keeping it all lined up
  • Polishing and patina to bring out the depth

Do I need experience? Yes, this one's intermediate. You should be comfortable soldering.

What it costs Materials are added up at the end, usually $20 to $100 depending on the piece. We have plenty of cabochons and silver to choose from.

What you take home A ring or pendant with real depth to it.
